 What Color Evokes What Mood?

The color wheel is divided into warm and cool colors. The warm side is red to yellow-green. The cool side is from green-blue to violet. Warm colors are known to excite; cools colors to calm. Depending on the hue, color can over stimulate or depress. It is usually in the tertiary colors that we find the right balance. The following is a list of attributes that are widely described to primary and secondary colors.

• Red: (think passion) stimulates, arouses, heightens awareness.
• Blue: (think water; the ocean) relaxes, calms, transfixes.
• Yellow: (think sun) recharges, energizes, revitalizes.

Secondary colors create gradations of the feelings attributed to primary colors.

• Green: (Blue/Yellow) stabilizes, balances.
• Orange: (Red/Green) cheers, orders.
• Purple: (Blue/Red) protects, comforts.
